Hey, great job on this project!

Some suggestions to improve you code:

  • To help keep your CSS code organized and easier to use, I suggest implementing CSS Variables. This will come in handy when building large websites, using light/dark mode, etc…

It’ll look something like this:

:root {
  --primary-color: value;
  --secondary-color: value;
  --tertiary-color: value;
}

And to use the variables you’ll use the var() function. So it’ll look like this.

h1 {
color: var(—primary-color);
}

Heres are some articles regarding CSS Variables.

You can also take a look at my projects and see how I use it.

https://www.w3schools.com/css/css3_variables.asp

  • For media queries, I definitely suggest using em for them. By using px your assuming that every users browser (mobile, tablet, laptop/desktop) is using a font size of 16px (this is the default size on browser). Em's will help with users whose default isn't 16px, which can sometimes cause the your content to overflow and negatively affect your layout.

👾Hi @AndrewMoisa, congratulations on your solution!👋 Welcome to the Frontend Mentor Coding Community!

Great solution and a great start! From what I saw you’re on the right track. I’ve few suggestions for you that you can consider adding to your code:

1.The box-shadow is a bit too strong, this is due the opacity and blur. The secret to create a perfect and smooth shadow is to have low values for opacity and increase blur try this value instead: box-shadow: 12px 7px 20px 6px rgb(57 75 84 / 8%);

If you’re not familiar to box-shadow you can use this site to create the shadow design and then just drop the code into the CSS: https://html-css-js.com/css/generator/box-shadow/

2.Use <main> instead of a simple <div> this way you improve the semantics and accessibility showing which is the main block of content on this page. Remember that every page should have a <main> block and that <div> doesn't have any semantic meaning.

3.Something that can be a time saver for you is to use a CSS RESET to remove all default settings for margins, making the images easier to work, see the article below where you can copy and paste this CSS code cheatsheet: https://piccalil.li/blog/a-modern-css-reset/

✌️ I hope this helps you and happy coding!
